New for 2008; The Welara Registry has improved and enhanced their registration certificates for purebred Welara, Foundation Stock, and Welara Sport Ponies. The new certificates are more informative while also better looking. All certificates issued starting from April 2008 are in the new format and design. The Registries 24 hour Fax service has been improved by now accepting color faxes, and is uninterruptible even during power outages. The new color feature is handy for those sending advertisement tear sheets, breed purity evaluation photographs for pending "Hardship Clause" registrations, and to immediately update the Registry with current photographs of a registered animal in case of theft. By member request and suggestion we have added to the Registries web site several new permanent pages available on the main menu bar on top of all pages under "Livestock Services". The pages include a list of Welara Registry approved show and event judges with contact information, and a page that posts High Point winners for current and past year's. • Canada and Overseas $6.00 per year. • Back issues of The Welara Journal are $1.50 each. • Circulation: 46 States ~ 4 Countries.
